The Lunch Lady from Survivor: China didn’t win the grand prize, but she did get a fat one from Survivor producer Mark Burnett after she announced that she lost her job after being on the show. He forked over $50,000 bucks to Denise Martin.

This happened Sunday night. The former cafeteria worker was, by Tuesday, was having to explain some allegations that she misled us, based on a press release from the superintendent of the Douglas, Mass., school district. The superintendent says, “Although Mrs. Martin was a cafeteria employee prior to her selection as a contestant, she asked to be considered for a promotion to full-time custodian, and was promoted to this position on March 30, 2007. This promotion came with additional benefits and a higher salary. Following her leave, she then returned to this same position.”

Denise’s response: “Nancy has been outstanding to me…I appreciate everything they’ve done, and I’m sorry. I apologize to everybody. If none of this had happened, I could never say I’m sorry enough.”

Let’s hope she returns the money that is rightfully Burnett’s and figures out where to get a decent haircut.
